Featured, Fishing, Home Page News, Michigan, National Fishing, National News, News /

What’s a “coaster” brook trout? And what can be done to foster stronger populations of them?
Such questions were among those addressed by a panel including Michigan DNR Fisheries Biologist Troy Zorn; Michigan Tech University Professor Chris Adams, who heads the conservation committee of the Michigan Council of Trout Unlimited; and Seth Waters, a local guide who’s made a specialty of pursuing the fish.

Cormorants continue to be a concern on Michigan waters

Featured, Fishing, Home Page News, Michigan, National Fishing, National News, Nature Page & Night Sky, News /

Cormorant management on Michigan waters remains a concern for fisheries managers and anglers alike. While management is continuing across the state, it’s not without challenges – including limited staffing and financing.
Because cormorants are migratory, they’re managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Migratory Bird Conservation Act. Michigan fish and game managers must apply for an annual permit to use lethal and nonlethal efforts to manage the fish-eating birds.

Still no arrests in case of embedded fishhooks found in dog treats planted on Pennsylvania game land

Featured, Home Page News, National News, Nature Page & Night Sky, News, Pennsylvania /

A disturbing incident involving dog treats embedded with fishhooks on a state game land in Lehigh County remained under investigation nearly a month after they had been discovered.
At least a dozen booby-trapped treats were found by hikers May 5 on the Appalachian Trail in State Game Land 217 in Washington Township. They were scattered in a popular spot between state Route 873 and the George W. Outerbridge Shelter in an area that connects to the Lehigh Gap Nature Center trail system via the Woodpecker Trail.

Ohios’ spring wild turkey kill dips a bit from ’23

Featured, Home Page News, Hunting, National Hunting, National News, News, Ohio /

After Ohio hunters enjoyed a 32% jump in the number of turkeys reported during the 2023 spring season over its 2022 counterpart, the results of the just-concluded 2024 turkey season shows a bit of throttling back from 2023.
For the 2024 season, hunters across Ohio checked 15,535 birds. That figure nearly matches the 15,673 birds tallied during the 2023 spring season, but is still ahead of the 2022 spring season harvest of 11,872 birds. The total statewide kill represents all turkeys checked from April 20 to May 26 for the 83-county South Zone and the five-county Northeast Zone.

Three bills pass Pennsylvania House panel, but reps focus on issues within PGC

Featured, Home Page News, Hunting, National Hunting, National News, News, Pennsylvania /

A vote to end Pennsylvania’s ban on Sunday hunting was overshadowed on May 22 by lawmakers’ consternation over issues within the agency that oversees hunting and wildlife in the commonwealth.
The state House Game and Fisheries Committee passed three pieces of legislation to expand Sunday hunting, mitigate crop damage by deer, and provide representation for farmers on the Game Commission. The bills each passed in 13-11 votes with all Republicans in opposition. They now will go to the full House for consideration.

Need a new release for bowhunting? Here’s what to consider

Featured, Featured, Featured, Featured, Featured, Features, Home Page News, Hunting, Hunting, Hunting, Hunting, Hunting, Hunting, Hunting, Hunting, Hunting, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, National Hunting, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin /

For my money, I’d argue that the most underrated piece of equipment in a bowhunter’s entire arsenal is his release. It’s definitely not a sexy gadget, and for many archers, it seems to be an afterthought.
It’s a lot easier to spend cold, hard cash on a flashy new sight or a new set of camo duds – maybe pick up a new trail cam or two. But at the end of the day, apart from maybe your arrow rest, the release in your hand is the piece of equipment most responsible for where your arrow ends up.
